My Bothersome Life Chapter 55

I saw Luke reading a book in the shared space, which was the living room . I knew he was waiting for me to explain what had happened last night .

However, it wasn't something I wanted to talk about, for one, it was very traumatic, and two, I knew there would be consequences if I told the whole story, especially with me using mana .

"So what happened with the points?" I asked Luke instead . Today was supposed to be the last day of teaching . Since I had already disinfected most of the wounds, if I walked slowly, I would be still able to teach normally .

"Today's the last day anyways . From what I remember, we could still go and teach as it's still eight in the morning-"

Luke interrupted me as I tried to finish my sentence, "You're limping Rika, with scars, bruises and scratches all over your body . "

Luke's face turned very serious with a hint of worry as he continued, "So you're not going to tell me what happened Rika?"

"Well- nothing much happened . " I answered hesitatingly and it was the truth . It was nothing compared to the girl who got stabbed by the dagger in the arm by her own sister or the other twin who was collapsed unconscious under the church building that was on fire .

All that I had were scars, scratches and bruises, but no broken bones .

However, Luke looked very disappointed and had a hint of looking betrayed in his eyes as he glanced at my neck, my forehead and my feet bruised purple from all that running .

"It'll heal" I whispered faintly .

"We're going back to the first district . " Luke finally said after a long stare at my wounds .

"So go and change into another outfit more fitting," Luke said while gritting his teeth .

Luke went into his room and loudly slammed the door behind him . I wondered what made him so mad? He usually doesn't lose his temper .

Luke and I were escorted into the dean's office in our school in the first district . Neither of us said a word to each other again during the ride here .

It was the second time we were ever here . The first time was when Shelly and I went into the second district without permission and got in trouble . Today, I imagined to be in a similar situation .

When we sat down on the couch across from the dean, he started speaking, "The school already knows you ran into trouble in the third district, but we still wish to hear the explanation from you Ms . Shane . "

The dean glanced at the wounds that were hard to cover with the school uniform from our school .

"I would imagine you would have to tell me everything honestly, or else there would be consequences for you and your partner . "

If that was the way they were going to do it, I had nothing to hide . I was going to get in trouble in one way or another at this point anyways .

I honestly told them the entire story, making sure I wasn't leaving anything out . Both the dean and Luke frowned at some parts that even I would find pretty grotesque .

When I finally finished my story, I asked, "Are we still getting the points from this mission? Technically none of this was MY fault-"

Before I could continue, I felt a piecing jab from Luke, which meant 'don't continue' .

"Sometimes, there are exceptions, and if the school finds everything that you have said to be true after our investigations, there will be no punishment for at least THIS time . " The dean answered .

Maybe that was the signal we could go now, as Luke dragged me out of the dean's office .
